Congratulations on your purchase of Euroair Detox Air Purifier from Eureka Forbes. We encourage you to read this manual carefully for the correct usage information. With proper care and maintenance, you can benefit more from clean, fresh air for many years of healthy living. Introduction Euroair Detox UV Photocatalytic Air Purifier is the latest industry standard in air purification systems. With the advent of UV Photocatalytic technology refined by our research and development team, we have incorporated this latest technology into our range of air purifiers. Air purification technology today, is more than the ionizing effect and HEPA filtration. It encompasses these and also disinfects and decomposes toxic contaminants besides killing bacteria, viruses and moulds. This Air Purifier incorporates the technical features of all other makes put together. It has a 7-stage filtration and treatment function and a negative ion generator. The Pre-filter removes larger pollutants, while the HEPA filter removes 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. Two layers of carbon filter (Carbon impregnated media & Granular in Honeycomb structure), absorb odour, smog and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) while the Antimicrobial & Antimildew filter prevents growth of micro-organisms within. A UV germicidal lamp destroys airborne bacteria & viruses as the air passes through and the Nano TiO 2 photocatalyst nickel-based filter sterilises & decomposes any left-over microorganisms. Cleaned air is then returned back into the room with an abundance of negative ions for natural fresh and clean air. Indoor air has never been this clean before. 1

Effectively filters fine airborne particulates such as dust, viruses, pollen, etc One of the oldest purification technologies, activated carbon has a large surface area owing to its capillary structure. When synthesised with polyurethane media, it enables fast and direct absorption of various gases and VOCs. Granular Activated Carbon is designed for capture of VOCs not captured in the earlier stage. It has a higher porosity and larger surface area for a longer lifespan. Kills and inhibits growth of bacteria, mildew with antimicrobial agent. Ultraviolet (UV) Germicidal lamp, 254nm Kills micro-organisms, sterilises the air stream and also activates the photocatalysis process 4
Nano TiO2 Photocatalyst nickel media filter Negative Ions generator The Photocatalysis process sterilises and deodorises air by killing bacteria, fungi and decomposes Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). It has self cleaning ability, is safe, stable and purifies. Negative Ions are known for its refreshing and purifying mode. It exists in abundance naturally in forests, mountains and near waterfalls. Negative Ions are known for its revitalising effect on humans.

Troubleshooting SYMPTOM Power ON, Unit does not function Unit emits strange sound and vibrates Smoke and odour are not removed Unit emits odour Air flow is low even on high setting REMEDY Check if the front cover is installed properly. Check if the power plug is plugged securely in the socket. Check if the battery in the Remote Control unit is in the correct position. Replace the battery if necessary. Check if the Child Lock is ON, deactivate it by using the button on Remote Control unit. Check if the Air Purifier is placed on a level surface. Check for foreign objects obstructing the fan. Check if the filters are dirty. Clean or replace the filters. If the unit is placed in a location where airflow is obstructed, relocate the unit closer to the source of pollution. The air could have been contaminated at the time when the unit was last unplugged. Let the unit run for some time. The filter could be contaminated with some offensive VOC's or gases during the last use. If not due for replacement, continue to run the unit in a ventilated room. The UV Photocatalytic process should eradicate this. Sometimes, new units may carry some smell as caused by the fresh coating of the TiO 2 filter. This should disappear after a while. Check if the filters are dirty. Clean or replace the filters. Contact your local agent or trained technician. For more information, please visit our website www.eurekaforbes.com 11
